EVERY DREAM

When dreams seem to turn to ashes

and the memories started bashing

upon the mind, I would see

upon a rainy street

a man looking at me,

he is love-starved...

looking for a heart

so he could crush

and make weep,

then he whispered in my ears

no weeping please;

this is what he said to me,

love only sleep when your dreaming,

in a place of heavy screaming.
